(the "SUPPLEMENT"), is hereby executed by and among NATIONAL CITY BANK, a
national banking association, as Seller and Servicer, and THE BANK OF NEW YORK,
a New York banking corporation, as Trustee.
Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of
June 1, 1995, as amended and restated as of July 1, 2000 (the "AGREEMENT"),
among the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, the Seller has created the
National City Credit Card Master Trust (the "TRUST"). SECTION 6.03 of the
Agreement provides that the Seller may from time to time direct the Trustee to
authenticate one or more new Series of Investor Certificates representing
fractional undivided interests in the Trust. The Principal Terms of any new
Series are to be set forth in a Supplement to the Agreement.
Pursuant to this Supplement, the Seller and the Trustee shall
create a new Series of Investor Certificates and specify the Principal Terms
thereof.
ARTICLE I
CREATION OF THE SERIES 2000-1 CERTIFICATES
SECTION 1.01. DESIGNATION.
(a) There is hereby created a Series of Investor Certificates to be
issued pursuant to the Agreement and this Supplement to be known as the
"National City Credit Card Master Trust, Series 2000-1." The Series 2000-1
Certificates shall be issued in two Classes, the first of which shall be known
as the "Class A Floating Rate Asset Backed Certificates, Series 2000-1" and the
second of which shall be known as the "Class B Floating Rate Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 2000-1." The Class A Certificates and the Class B
Certificates shall be substantially in the form of EXHIBITS A-1 and A-2 hereto,
respectively. In addition, there is hereby created a third Class of an
uncertificated interest in the Trust which shall be deemed to be an "Investor
Certificate" for all purposes under the Agreement and this Supplement, except as
expressly provided herein, and which shall be known as the Collateral Interest,
Series 2000-1 (the "COLLATERAL INTEREST").
(b) Series 2000-1 shall be included in Group One (as defined below).
Series 2000-1 shall not be subordinated to any other Series.
(c) The Collateral Interest Holder, as holder of an "Investor
Certificate" under the Agreement, shall be entitled to the benefits of the
Agreement and this Supplement upon payment by the Collateral Interest Holder of
amounts owing on the Closing Date as agreed to by the Seller and the Collateral
Interest Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as expressly provided
herein, (i) the provisions of ARTICLE VI and ARTICLE XII of the Agreement
relating to the registration, authentication, delivery, presentation,
cancellation and surrender of Registered Certificates and the opinion described
in SECTION 6.09(b)(d)(i) and clauses (a) and (c) of the definition of Tax
Opinion in SECTION 1.01 of the Agreement shall not be applicable to the
Collateral Interest, and (ii) the provisions of SECTION 3.07 of the Agreement
shall not apply to cause the Collateral Interest to be treated as debt for
federal, state and local income and franchise
<PAGE> 6
tax purposes, but rather the Seller intends and, together with the Collateral
Interest Holder, agrees to treat the Collateral Interest for federal, state and
local income and franchise tax purposes as representing an equity interest in
the assets of the Trust.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement or in this
Supplement to the contrary, the first Distribution Date with respect to Series
2000-1 shall be the October 2000 Distribution Date and the first Monthly Period

applied to Class A Monthly Principal on such Distribution Date), (ii) for each
Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation Period, the
Controlled Deposit Amount for such Distribution Date (minus the Class A Monthly
Principal with respect to such Distribution Date) and (iii) the Class B Adjusted
Invested Amount on such Distribution Date (without taking into account any
deposit into the Principal Funding Account on the related Transfer Date).
(c) The amount of monthly principal ("COLLATERAL MONTHLY PRINCIPAL")
distributable from the Collection Account with respect to the Collateral
Interest on each Distribution Date, beginning with the Collateral Principal
Commencement Date, shall be equal to the least of (i) the Available Principal
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account with respect to such
Distribution Date (minus the portion of such Available Principal Collections
20

applied to Class A Monthly Principal and Class B Monthly Principal on such
Transfer Date), (ii) for each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled
Accumulation Period, the Controlled Deposit Amount for such Distribution Date
(minus the Class A Monthly Principal and Class B Monthly Principal with respect
to such Distribution Date) and (iii) the Collateral Interest Adjusted Amount on
such Distribution Date (without taking into account any deposit into the
Principal Funding Account on the related Transfer Date).
SECTION 4.04. REQUIRED AMOUNT.
(a) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related
Determination Date, the Servicer shall determine the amount (the "CLASS A
REQUIRED AMOUNT"), if any, by which (a) the sum of (i) Class A Monthly Interest
for such Distribution Date, (ii) any Class A Monthly Interest previously due but
not paid to the Class A Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (iii)
any Class A Additional Interest previously due but not paid to the Class A
Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (iv) the Class A Servicing Fee
for such Distribution Date, (v) any Class A Servicing Fee previously due but not
paid to the Servicer, and (vi) the Class A Investor Default Amount, if any, for
such Distribution Date exceeds (b) the Class A Available Funds.
(b) With respect to each Distribution Date, on the related
Determination Date, the Servicer shall also determine the amount (the "CLASS B
REQUIRED AMOUNT"), if any, equal to the sum of (i) the amount, if any, by which
the sum of (A) the Class B Monthly Interest for such Distribution Date, (B) the
Class B Monthly Interest previously due but not paid to the Class B
Certificateholders on a prior Distribution Date, (C) any Class B Additional
Interest previously due but not paid to the Class B Certificateholders on a

Date, (E) any Class B Servicing Fee previously due but not paid to the Servicer,
exceeds the Class B Available Funds, plus (ii) the Class B Investor Default
Amount, if any, for the prior Monthly Period.
(c) If the sum of the Class A Required Amount and the Class B Required
Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than zero, the Servicer shall give
written notice to the Trustee of such positive Class A Required Amount or Class
B Required Amount on the date of computation. In the event that the Class A
Required Amount for such Distribution Date is greater than zero, all or a
portion of the Excess Spread and the Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable
to Series 2000-1 with respect to the related Monthly Period in an amount equal
to the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution Date shall be distributed
from the Collection Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION
4.07(a). In the event that the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution
Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and the amount of Excess Finance Charge
Collections allocable to Series 2000-1 with respect to the related Monthly
Period, all or a portion of the Reallocated Principal Collections with respect
to such Monthly Period in an amount equal to such excess shall be distributed
from the Collection Account on such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION
4.08(a). In the event that the Class B Required Amount for such Distribution
Date is greater than zero, the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections available to fund such amount with respect to the related Monthly
Period in an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount for such Distribution
Date shall be distributed from the Collection Account on such Distribution Date
pursuant to SECTION 4.07(c). In the event that the Class B Required Amount for
such Distribution Date exceeds the
21
<PAGE> 26
amount of Excess Spread and the amount of Excess Finance Charge Collections
available to fund the Class B Required Amount with respect to the related
Monthly Period, all or a portion of the Reallocated Collateral Principal
Collections (minus any Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections applied to
cover the Class A Required Amount) with respect to such Monthly Period in an
amount equal to such excess shall be distributed from the Collection Account on
such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.08(b); provided, however, that the
sum of any payments pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the sum of the
Class A Required Amount and the Class B Required Amount.
SECTION 4.05. APPLICATION OF CLASS A AVAILABLE FUNDS, CLASS B AVAILABLE
FUNDS, COLLATERAL AVAILABLE FUNDS AND AVAILABLE PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS. The

with SECTION 4.04 of the Agreement.
(f) On the earlier to occur of (i) the first Distribution Date with

Holder.
(g) The Controlled Accumulation Period is scheduled to commence at the
close of business on July 31, 2004; provided, however, that, if the Accumulation
Period Length (determined as described below) is less than twelve months, the
date on which the Controlled Accumulation Period actually commences will be
delayed to the first Business Day of the month that is the number of whole
months prior to the Scheduled Payment Date at least equal to the Accumulation
Period Length and, as a result, the number of Monthly Periods in the Controlled
Accumulation Period will at least equal the Accumulation Period Length. On the
Determination Date immediately preceding the July 2004 Distribution Date, and
each Determination Date thereafter until the Controlled Accumulation Period
begins, the Servicer will determine the "ACCUMULATION PERIOD LENGTH" which will
equal the number of whole months such that the sum of the Accumulation Period
Factors for each month during such period will be equal to or greater than the
Required Accumulation Factor Number; provided, however, that the Accumulation
Period Length will not be determined to be less than one month; provided
further, however, that the determination of the Accumulation Period Length may
be changed at any time if the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied.
SECTION 4.06. DEFAULTED AMOUNTS; INVESTOR CHARGE-OFFS.
(a) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class
A Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any
Distribution Date, the Class A Required Amount for the related Monthly Period
exceeds the sum of (i) the amount of Reallocated Principal Collections with
respect to such Monthly Period and (ii) the amount of
24
<PAGE> 29
Excess Spread and the Excess Finance Charge Collections allocable to Series
2000-1 with respect to such Monthly Period, the Collateral Interest Amount
(after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by
the amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of the Class A
Investor Default Amount and the Collateral Interest Amount (after giving effect
to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal
Collections on such Distribution Date) for such Distribution Date. In the event
that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest Amount to be a negative
number, the Collateral Interest Amount will be reduced to zero, and the Class B
Invested Amount (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such
Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero. In the event that such
reduction would cause the Class B Invested Amount to be a negative number, the
Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced to zero and the Class A Invested Amount
shall be reduced by the amount by which the Class B Invested Amount would have
been reduced below zero, but not by more than the excess, if any, of the Class A
Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date over the aggregate amount of
the reductions, if any, of the Class B Invested Amount and the Collateral
Invested Amount for such Distribution Date (a "CLASS A INVESTOR CHARGE-OFF").
Class A Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and the Class A
Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the aggregate
unreimbursed Class A Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by the
amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to SECTION 4.07(b).
(b) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the Class
B Investor Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any
Distribution Date, the Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution
Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections
with respect to the related Monthly Period which are allocated and available to
pay such amount pursuant to SECTION 4.07(c), the Collateral Interest Amount
(after giving effect to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any
Reallocated Principal Collections on such Distribution Date) will be reduced by
the amount of such excess, but not by more than the lesser of the Class B
Investor Default Amount and the Collateral Interest Amount (after giving effect
to reductions for any Collateral Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Principal
Collections on such Distribution Date) for such Distribution Date. In the event
that such reduction would cause the Collateral Interest Amount to be a negative
number, the Collateral Interest Amount will be reduced to zero, and the Class B
Invested Amount (after giving effect to reductions for any Class B Investor
Charge-Offs and any Reallocated Class B Principal Collections on such
Distribution Date) will be reduced by the amount by which the Collateral
Invested Amount would have been reduced below zero, but not by more than the
Class B Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date (a "CLASS B INVESTOR
CHARGE-OFF"). Class B Investor Charge-Offs shall thereafter be reimbursed and
the Class B Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in excess of the
aggregate unreimbursed Class B Investor Charge-Offs) on any Distribution Date by
the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated and
available for that purpose pursuant to SECTION 4.07(d).
(c) On each Determination Date, the Servicer shall calculate the
Collateral Default Amount, if any, for the related Distribution Date. If, on any
Distribution Date, the Collateral Default Amount for such Distribution Date
exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and
25
<PAGE> 30
Excess Finance Charge Collections with respect to the related Monthly Period
which are allocated and available to pay such amount pursuant to SECTION
4.07(g), the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such
excess, but not by more than the Collateral Default Amount for such Distribution
Date (a "COLLATERAL CHARGE-OFF"). Collateral Charge-Offs shall thereafter be
reimbursed and the Collateral Invested Amount increased (but not by an amount in
excess of the aggregate unreimbursed Collateral Charge-Offs) on any Distribution
Date by the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections
allocated and available for that purpose pursuant to SECTION 4.07(h).
(d) If on any Distribution Date Reallocated Class B Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date are applied pursuant to SECTION 4.08(a),
the Class B Invested Amount shall be reduced by the amount of such Reallocated
Class B Principal Collections.
(e) If on any Distribution Date Reallocated Collateral Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date are applied pursuant to SECTION 4.08(a)
or SECTION 4.08(b), the Collateral Invested Amount shall be reduced by the
amount of such Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections.
SECTION 4.07. EXCESS SPREAD; EXCESS FINANCE CHARGE COLLECTIONS. The
Servicer shall apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply, on each Distribution
Date, Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series
2000-1 with respect to the related Monthly Period, to make the following
distributions in the following order of priority:
(a) an amount equal to the Class A Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed by the Trustee to fund
any deficiency pursuant to SECTIONS 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); provided,
however, that in the event the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution
Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections
allocated to Series 2000-1, such Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge
Collections shall be applied first to pay amounts due with respect to such
Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.05(a)(i), second to pay the Class A
Servicing Fee pursuant to SECTION 4.05(a)(ii) and third to pay the Class A
Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION
4.05(a)(iii);
(b) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Class A Investor
Charge-Offs which have not been previously reimbursed as provided in SECTION
4.06(a) (after giving effect to the allocation on such Distribution Date of any
amount for that purpose pursuant to SECTION 4.06(a)) shall be treated as a
portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;
(c) an amount equal to the Class B Required Amount, if any, with
respect to such Distribution Date shall be distributed by the Trustee to fund
any deficiency pursuant to SECTIONS 4.05(b)(i) and (ii) and any Class B Investor
Default Amount; provided, however, that in the event that the Class B Required
Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds the amount of Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated and available to fund such amount, such
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections shall be applied first to
pay amounts due with respect to such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION
4.05(b)(i), second to pay the Class B Servicing Fee pursuant to SECTION
4.05(b)(ii) and third, in an amount equal to the
26

portion of Available Principal Collections for such Distribution Date;
(d) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Class B
Invested Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the
definition of "Class B Invested Amount" in SECTION 2.01 of this Supplement (but
not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not been
previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date;
(e) an amount equal to the Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest plus the
amount of any past due Collateral Minimum Monthly Interest for such Distribution
Date shall be distributed to the Paying Agent for payment to the Collateral
Interest Holder;
(f) an amount equal to any Collateral Servicing Fees due but not paid
to the Servicer either on such Distribution Date or a prior Distribution Date
shall be paid to the Servicer;
(g) an amount equal to the Collateral Default Amount for such
Distribution Date shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date;
(h) an amount equal to the aggregate amount by which the Collateral
Interest Amount has been reduced pursuant to clauses (c), (d) and (e) of the
definition of "Collateral Invested Amount" in SECTION 2.01 of this Supplement
(but not in excess of the aggregate amount of such reductions which have not
been previously reimbursed) shall be treated as a portion of Available Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date;
(i) on each Distribution Date from and after the Reserve Account
Funding Date, but prior to the date on which the Reserve Account terminates as
described in SECTION 4.12(f), an amount up to the excess, if any, of the
Required Reserve Account Amount over the Available Reserve Account Amount shall
be deposited into the Reserve Account; and
(j) the balance, if any, after giving effect to the payments made
pursuant to subparagraphs (a) through (i) above shall be distributed to the
Paying Agent for payment to the Collateral Interest Holder.
SECTION 4.08. REALLOCATED PRINCIPAL COLLECTIONS. The Servicer shall
apply, or shall cause the Trustee to apply, on each Distribution Date,
Reallocated Principal Collections (applying all Reallocated Collateral Principal
Collections in accordance with SECTIONS 4.08(a) and (b) prior to applying any
Reallocated Class B Principal Collections in accordance with SECTION 4.08(a) for
any amounts still owing after the application of Reallocated Collateral
Principal Collections) with respect to such Distribution Date, to make the
following distributions in the following order of priority:
(a) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Class A Required
Amount, if any, with respect to such Distribution Date over (ii) the amount of
Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2000-1
with respect to the related Monthly Period, shall be distributed by the Trustee
to fund any deficiency pursuant to SECTIONS 4.05(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); provided
that if the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution Date exceeds
27
<PAGE> 32
the sum of (1) the amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance Charge Collections
allocated to Series 2000-1 and (2) the amount of Reallocated Principal
Collections for such Distribution Date, then (I) such Excess Spread and Excess
Finance Charge Collections allocated to Series 2000-1 and (II) Reallocated
Principal Collections shall be applied first to pay amounts due with respect to
such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION 4.05(a)(i), second to pay the Class A
Servicing Fee pursuant to SECTION 4.05(a)(ii) and third to pay the Class A
Investor Default Amount for such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION

fund such amount and (2) the amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal
Collections available after funding the Class A Required Amount for such
Distribution Date, the (I) such amount of Excess Spread and Excess Finance

amount of Reallocated Collateral Principal Collections available after funding
the Class A Required Amount for such Distribution Date shall be applied first to
pay amounts due with respect to such Distribution Date pursuant to SECTION

at the direction of the Servicer by the Trustee in Eligible Investments. Funds
on deposit in the Principal Funding Account on any Distribution Date, after
giving effect to any withdrawals from the Principal Funding Account on such

(II) such securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders
originated by the Trustee without the further consent of any other person
or entity, (III) all property credited to such securities account shall be
treated as a financial asset, (IV) such securities intermediary shall waive
any lien on, security interest in, or right of set-off with respect to any
property credited to such securities account, and (V) such agreement shall
be governed by the laws of the State of New York;
(ii) maintain possession of each other Eligible Investment not
described in clause (i) above (other than such as are described in clause
(c) of the definition thereof); and
(iii) cause each Eligible Investment described in clause (c) of the
definition thereof to be registered in the name of the Trustee by the
issuer thereof;
provided, that no Eligible Investment shall be disposed of prior to its maturity
date. Terms used in clause (i) above that are defined in the New York UCC and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the New York
UCC.
On each Distribution Date with respect to the Controlled Accumulation
Period and on the first Transfer Date with respect to the Early Amortization
Period, the Trustee, acting at the Servicer's direction given on or before such
Distribution Date, shall transfer from the Principal Funding Account to the
Collection Account the Principal Funding Investment Proceeds on deposit in the
Principal Funding Account for application as Class A Available Funds and Class B
Available Funds in accordance with SECTION 4.05.
Principal Funding Investment Proceeds (including reinvested interest)
shall not be considered part of the amounts on deposit in the Principal Funding
Account for purposes of this Supplement.
SECTION 4.12. RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) The Servicer shall establish, in the name of the Trust, on behalf
of the Trust, for the benefit of the Series 2000-1 Certificateholders and the
Collateral Interest Holder, as their interests appear herein, a "RESERVE
ACCOUNT" which shall be an Eligible Deposit Account, bearing a designation
clearly indicating that the funds deposited therein are held for the benefit of
the Series 2000-1 Certificateholders and the Collateral Interest Holder. The
Trustee shall possess all right, title and interest in all funds on deposit from
time to time in the Reserve Account and in all proceeds thereof. The Reserve
Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of the Trustee for the
benefit of the Series 2000-1 Certificateholders and the Collateral Interest
Holder. If at any time the Reserve Account ceases to be an Eligible Deposit
Account, the Trustee (or the Servicer on its behalf) shall, within ten (10)
Business Days (or such longer period, not to exceed thirty calendar days, as to
which each Rating Agency shall consent) establish a new Reserve Account meeting
the conditions specified above as an Eligible Deposit Account, and shall
transfer any cash or any investments to such new Reserve Account. The Trustee,

on the basis of the rate for one-month United States dollar deposits that
appears on Telerate Page 3750 as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such date. If
such rate does not appear on Telerate Page 3750, the rate for that date will be
determined on the basis of the rates at which one-month United States dollar
deposits are offered by the Reference Banks at approximately 11:00 a.m., London
time, on that day to prime banks in the London interbank market for such
one-month period. The Trustee will request the principal London office of each
of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate. If at least two such
quotations are provided, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of
the quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided as
32
<PAGE> 37
requested, the rate for that date will be the arithmetic mean of the rates
quoted by major banks in New York City, selected by the Servicer, at
approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on that day for one-month loans in
United States dollars to leading European banks for such one-month period.
(b) The Class A Certificate Rate and the Class B Certificate Rate
applicable to the then current and the immediately preceding Interest Periods
may be obtained by any Series 2000-1 Certificateholder by telephoning the
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office.
(c) On each LIBOR Determination Date, the Trustee shall send to the
Servicer by facsimile notification of LIBOR for the following Interest Period.
(d) If on a LIBOR Determination Date, the banks selected by the
Servicer pursuant to SECTION 4.13(a) are not quoting rates as described above,
LIBOR for such Interest Period will be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR
Determination Date.
